Scp2 - sterol carrier protein 2, liver

Predicted to enable several functions, including C-acyltransferase activity; cholesterol binding activity; and lipid transfer activity. Involved in regulation of phospholipid biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within peroxisome organization. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; mitochondrion; and peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hair follicle; intestine; liver; and retina layer. Orthologous to human SCP2 (sterol carrier protein 2).
